Butt-Trakis's definitions

the mars volta

Band that caters to striving pseudo-intellectuals. Looks deep and meaningful on the surface, but has no more substance than 80's butt-rock (hair) music.

The Mars Volta and System of a Down, while their music is pleasing to listen to, and seems to have deep lyrics are pretty shallow. They rely on simple-minded bush bashing (SOAD) and big words haphazardly thrown together (The Mars Volta) to sound creative, unique, and hardcore.
